My Daughter Came By Today

Post by Lotech Joe » Thu Feb 19, 2009 6:20 pm

Daughter came by and presented me with a pretty nice gift. She paid $100 to a guy looking to liquidate some stuff so he could go to Alaska. One of the 3 rods she bought was a Ross Worldwide model Essence FW, 8 1/2 foot, 5 weight, 4 piece with aluminum tube. I took it outside and cast it from the sitting position, and shot line over 60' on the second cast. WOW, nice stick. It is a pretty a rod as I've ever seen and the fit and finish is second to none. All I had to pay for it was a hug and a kiss. I think I made out on both ends of that deal.
I'M JUST TICKLED!

Water = Poop,
Wine = Health.

Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of poop

Joe,

sounds like you've got your daughter dialed in just right to how to shop and look for a bargain. I am picturing you in the sitting position shooting line 60'!
Have fun.

This photo of me was taken on the Lochsa River in North Idaho. It used to be captioned, "Once a Boat Fisherman, Always a Boat Fisherman."
